Dear BBC: give Nicola an 8-part series of hour-long episodes immediately - this is fascinating and she's as engaging as she is articulate! My new favourite TH-cam channel!
Nicola! I stumbled upon your channel and I’m absolutely fascinated! I live in North Carolina in the US. We are happy to find anything that’s even 100 years old 😆. These objects from the 16 and 1700’s are truly treasures! I am definitely hooked on your vids and I will be watching! Cheers from an American “cousin”! 😉🙂
was a mid to late 19TH century button - a victorian picture button to be exact with an oriental bamboo design - Thank you for such amazing videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good heavens,for a moment my heart skipped a beat! I rushed over to my box of finds and gifts from you,I thought that the Bartman piece that you found was the one that you gave me!! But no,a different piece,and a piece that I am so very honored to have! Thank you,Nicola!🥰
OMG, I loved this video so much! I can't think of a better way to spend a day than mudlarking with friends! Lots of love to all of you! Thank you for sharing your adventures and treasures!
What a wonderful way to find old treasures I come from New Zealand we don’t have the extent of history that you guys do. I love watching you and seeing the lovely things you find. I would love to come over to the UK and go mudlarking 💍
Possibly my best 26 minutes in the last few months, fantastic finds from interesting and enthusiastic people, thanks Nicola for allowing us to be there.
I find the chain mail most interesting. We don't see that in the US. I also like the "show and tell" meeting at the end of the day when you all get together over a beer and share your findings with the viewers. You're a great bunch of people!
If I had a magic wand I would spend the rest of my days mudlarking with Nicola and her fellows. I am binge watching all the past episodes. Thank you all!
@@gaylenealis7268 there are square coins all over the world (just Google it and you will see).There are coins in many different shapes not just round (triangular,octagonal,etc.).
I so love watching you all mudlarking around the Thames. I'm a historian & all the things you find just perk my interest every single time.The half brick, pins & later, the top of the Bellarmine jar I'd say were what was left of someone's dwelling & yard along the Thames after the fire of 1666, when the foreshore was farther out. I wouldn't be surprised if the pins were put in & buried in the very same jar that neck belonged to. The jar broke & after a while the Thames came in more & the pins got well,....pinned under some rock. Just a theory, but it thinly makes some sense of their relative locations where they were found.
Terrific adventure, three very amazing people together in one spot, well The Man with the Hat is now officially a mudlarker too, interesting finds, cheers for sharing, 💐👍🏻👏👏👏👏🎁💖💖🇦🇺
What a cracking film...two of my favourite TH-camrs (Nicola and Stephen) plus someone new to me, who I think I'm going to like too (Simon)...thanks so much Dave
Medieval/Early tudor bricks are often called "Clamps" named after the process of making them I believe. They are smaller than a modern industial age brick and worth reclaiming as quite sought after for repairs/alterations to listed buildings. Love the channel, subbed.
I have viewed your videos for a couple of years now and have always enjoyed them. I love history and you just don’t see the items you find in London in Indiana, USA. Very interesting always! I also like the new formats you’ve been using to present the Mudlarking adventure and explanation of the treasures you find! Thanks Nicola, and friends!
Utterly fantastic! Years ago I was on a crop circle tour in England, in a formation. My guide handed me a flint she'd found on the ground. I will have to locate it in my still packed boxes from moving.
Correct it is a 17th century coin from Holland from the V.O.C so very very nice find. And the other one the square one is a silver 5 cents also from that time good find
@@aztib Zeelandia is from Zeeland province, V.O.C. had their own coinage. Also, the square one is a nickel 5 cents from 1923, not silver unfortunately.
Text with the weapon of Zeeland is most probably "Luctor et emergo" : "I struggled to emerge" To this day the official motto of the province of Zeeland !
@@casperrah220 Could it be Aesthetic Movement brass? 1860-1890? Much influenced by Japanese culture. I have a Worcestor vase in the shape of a hollow bamboo log that is AM porcelain.
Very pleased you are all enjoying 'Caribbean weather! on your mudlarking trip. Good to see you all together. Some fascinsting finds, although that chain-mail looks painstaking to make...Grwat days on the water
New to your channel and I’m utterly fascinated by what you guys find on the Thames. The episode with the Neolithic deer antler hoe was remarkable. I’m a rock hound and I love imagining what things were previously used for.
Hello Nicole, it"s a pleasure to go virtually along the Thames with you ! The copper object with bamboo design cut out look very much like the cover of some incense burners I've seen in Asia
Great video,Nicola,really enjoyed watching and waiting for Stephen to get stuck in the mud. Liked that forgive to forget shirt, how true,so simple but so difficult for most,glhh
Wonderful dear lady !! Always a story to be told when hunting for the past. History is a most valuable tool when predicting the future. Warm regards Albus
@ 3:58 my eye was drawn to the rather large anchor arm poking out of the water.. I was curious about the prospect of Whitby as I used to go there often for the jazz nights. I often wondered if the tide ever went low enough, to be able to mud-lark... As far as I recall, the Pub had several names, The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping Wally, and Wally on the wall, were some of them,, not sure if there were any more, I was given to believe it is the oldest riverside pub! On a few occasions coach loads of tourists would turn up there..
Great video! After mopping the other day, I opened the door to let the chemical smell out, and left it open maybe 20 minutes or so. Later that evening I was headed to the fridge for a beer and found a coiled snake in my kitchen! You think if I bury a "wild man" pot out back it'll keep the critters away?I suppose I could pee in the "Wild Man" pot! Animals are obsessed with urine and would likely notice! Look at Canadian made rubber boots on eBay or Amazon. Pricey but good! The best ones lace up to fit better. And... I've said it before, I'll say it again! Your voice, manner of speaking, and accent are beautiful!
Great video as always Nicola. Some really interesting finds . Stephen with his pipe. You with the part bottle with a face and simon with his coin weight. Fantastic weather great company and treasure for all brilliant video ( PS) you should look at selling merchandise maybe a Mudlark with Nicole top. Thanks for sharing.
I only came across your channel recently and I'm enjoying all the finds along with you and your Mud-larkers. Their always interesting when you look in to the history of an item. Cheers!
I grew up in a house that used to have a pharmacy in the basement in the 1800s. So we’d find old medicine bottles from time to time when we’d be digging/playing around in the back yard. And we found a whole wagon wheel once too. Like, horse and buggy type wheel. I was in elementary school but I used to love finding stuff like that. A peek into history!
at 9m19sec the coin you found is a duit a old dutch coint that we do find a lot in the netherlands. always great to see them pop up in other country's.
I moved to Thailand 14 years ago, and this malarky has got me truly homesick..i did a bit of metal detecting..and traveled the UK selling my own craft works...those Thames pebbles are superb for pebble art. regards John.
What fun and a pint well deserved. If you have "Shoe Goo" in U.K., you might consider keeping a tube in your backpack for on the spot Wellie repairs when needed. Thanks to you all and all the best.

Being the first person to touch these things for hundreds of years, or even the first since the original owner, must be a real thrill.

I know just how you feel also being a NZer. You don't by any chance live in Ashburton do you?
Easily one of my favorite TH-cam Channels. Keep up the amazing work!
Just discovered "you" and your TH-cam videos ... I am hooked. Love love love the pipes you find. Keep up the mudlarking ... I'll be watching.
Possibly my best 26 minutes in the last few months, fantastic finds from interesting and enthusiastic people, thanks Nicola for allowing us to be there.
amc3 thank you. My pleasure!
I am intrigued by all these little pipes you find.

"A million squillion years."
Bless you, Simon.
Great video! Love all the great camera views, the music, the history, the comradery and the treasures found! How fun! ♡
I am new to your channel and absolutely addicted. I love the way you give your viewers the historical context to your finds.
Love it! Thank you for sharing the history!!!
Went back to an old episode and really enjoyed it!
This is great because you show the surrounding area and we can learn something about where you are.
If I had a magic wand I would spend the rest of my days mudlarking with Nicola and her fellows. I am binge watching all the past episodes. Thank you all!
Just found your videos and they are so much fun, I’ll have to watch all of them. I like that you give the history of the pieces you find.
I'm hooked! Found your interesting vids on here-and can't stop watching them. So much history there.Well done and thanks.
Glad I’ve found your channel, fascinating stuff xx
The 5c square coin is from the Dutch Antilles, still in use in Curacao. Untill 2010 "dushi" Bonaire did accept the Guilder, but now has the US dollar.
1923 5 cent Dutch.Not Antilles (did not exist yet).They did reuse the same design later on.
I never knew there were square coins!

Very watchable, this was, complete with inundation excitement, moments of hanging suspense and a compelling soundtrack. Noose work.
Really enjoyed listening to the history and watching the 3 of you search out your finds. I just love it when you find boots! Treasures, all of them.
Thank you x
Mudlarking is invigorating. My new hobby and I absolutely love it! 😊💖
Wow such great fun you have and thanks for bringing us along and sharing the adventure......
Thanks for watching!
Love seeing Simon in your videos!
Terrific adventure, three very amazing people together in one spot, well The Man with the Hat is now officially a mudlarker too, interesting finds, cheers for sharing, 💐👍🏻👏👏👏👏🎁💖💖🇦🇺
Brilliant, when I come home from Australia I'd love to go mudlarking, it looks addictive ! X
You can go to any coastal area and find things of interest. 🤗🇺🇲

Rewatching this 'cause it's awesome 💗
Thank you. Not do what?!
Excellent mudlarking. I very much enjoyed the music. Thank you.

Awesome video collaboration Nicola!!! Some beautiful finds.
Loved this!! Great to see Stephan mudlarking for the first time!!
Marvellous as ever xxx yes to tshirt s! !
Stephen was hilarious! A nice addition.
Mudlarking with friends! Makes it more fun finding "bits & bobs" I think! Great video! Always love seeing The Man with a Hat too! What fun! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video! One of my favorites, with 3 of my favorite tubers!
Another pleasant video to watch. Well done to Simon, Stephen, Jonathan and to you. ( and keep making the most of this good weather ).
Thank you Tobias!
Some really great finds. Really interesting video.
My favourite mudlarking channel!
this was almost as fun as going along!
Utterly fantastic! Years ago I was on a crop circle tour in England, in a formation. My guide handed me a flint she'd found on the ground. I will have to locate it in my still packed boxes from moving.
The chainmail is amazing.
At 9:10 its an old dutch coin, From the time our provinces had their own coinage. Zeelandia, is from zeeland, 17th century?
funny, the next coin is Dutch as well, but it says 1923.
Correct it is a 17th century coin from Holland from the V.O.C so very very nice find. And the other one the square one is a silver 5 cents also from that time good find

@@zombieguy16 you are absolutely correct 👍👍
Text with the weapon of Zeeland is most probably "Luctor et emergo" : "I struggled to emerge"
To this day the official motto of the province of Zeeland !
The brass thing with leaves is the top of a potpourri jar I had one exactly the same
ah, thank you!!
So is it old?
@@casperrah220 Could it be Aesthetic Movement brass? 1860-1890? Much influenced by Japanese culture. I have a Worcestor vase in the shape of a hollow bamboo log that is AM porcelain.

Really enjoyed that!! Loved the finds, history just waiting to be found.
Many thanks.
What a great trove of treasures the 3 of you found, with beers at the finish. Im jealous!
Wonderful dear lady !! Always a story to be told when hunting for the past. History is a most valuable tool when predicting the future. Warm regards Albus
Albus Dumbledore thank you very much Albus.
What i like in your video is the story (or history) behind each find. Thanks a lot and take care. 😊👍👍👍
I enjoy both watching and listening to your videos. That you behave with kindness to those around you ensures my regular return.
this is so cool! such an amazing history lesson and fun at the same time! Gotta go!!
Wow that Zeelandia coin is amazing... 1790's Dutch (Colonies, maybe Guyana?)
A Mudlarking T-Shirt is a great idea. Nice video and I really like the use of the drone.
love the bamboo thingy. would love some of the rocks I see on your journeys.

More great finds 👍🏻
I wish I could go mudlarking at the Thamse too.
i don't blame you! :)
Looks cheap all you need to do is be there
@@DOUBLEDEFENSE lol. 'being there' is, let us say, not practical from Australia, at least in the short term. Sigh...
@@MrTtvvt Nothing is practical but you have to see it happen even from Australia best of luck
Being there from Florida isn’t feasible right now but I’d love to do this. I will too!!
Just started watching your videos (from USA). It is amazing to me how many old pipes y'all find!
Great finds Nicola!
Thank you Todor
Looks like a nice anchor fluke sticking up in the water at 26.11 behind the Tudor brick discussion. Good searching.. thanks
Nice Dutch Duit!!! Got many of those ones here. 😄 But really cool that you found one there. 👍🏻
Another great mudlarking video always enjoy them.
Adrian Ford thanks Adrian!
Thanks for that! Well done. Rox
Maybe you bring a magnet!
Sick in bed all week but working my way through all of your older videos. 😊
I hope you get better soon. Sending you lots of love. Enjoy the videos. xox

I love history !!! Especially European,finding those relics is so cool !! I have learned allot from you.I am a grateful pupil !! TY !
Love the videos, don't sweat the wrinkles, your gorgeous
Harold Perry thanks Harold. you are officially my favourite person
I only came across your channel recently and I'm enjoying all the finds along with you and your Mud-larkers.
Their always interesting when you look in to the history of an item. Cheers!
Thanks Sean I'm glad you're enjoying them
Nice finds, but my favorite is definitely the silver 1727 Zeelandia 2 Stuiver coin!! Keep the videos coming, GL&HH!!!
Zeelandia is the Netherlands, by the way, so with the 1923 5c that makes 2 coins from the Netherlands!!
I grew up in a house that used to have a pharmacy in the basement in the 1800s. So we’d find old medicine bottles from time to time when we’d be digging/playing around in the back yard. And we found a whole wagon wheel once too. Like, horse and buggy type wheel. I was in elementary school but I used to love finding stuff like that. A peek into history!
Glad you did not find a horse skeleton to go with the buggy!
I loved that little square 5c coin. I’ve never seen a coin that shape before.
that red glass looks like a jewel out of something what a lovely day there🦘🦘🦘 Danny Australia
Nice to see the three of you together.
Nicola - a great job on all your videos - calm narration, lots of information and follow-up!

Be a good idea to take a magnet and pick up loads of pins at once, lol.
Wonderful I'm finally catching up...another stay away from home has put me way behind but im tryin....love and cheers use friend
The bamboo lid is from a pot pourri box, I do wood turning and you can buy those as kits and then you turn the box on your lathe.
What fun and a pint well deserved. If you have "Shoe Goo" in U.K., you might consider keeping a tube in your backpack for on the spot Wellie repairs when needed. Thanks to you all and all the best.
I need two tubes of Shoe Goo! Thanks for the suggestion. I will get some :)
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art Or duct tape...1015th use for it...patching up Wellies!
This was my first time watching i found it very interesting. Love the bits if history you add. Great job from N.W. Indiana USA.
I so wish I was back in England. Great video as always.
Enjoyed your video and always fun to watch you and your friends and hearing their (and your) stories.
Hi Captain Nicola and your great crew , lovely river finds & well deserved drinks in hot Caribbean weather . bye
